Play holy light heart to be dirty

"Master Fortuna has passed away, and the whereabouts of Mr. Bishop is still unknown. All the companions in the forest have turned into ice sculptures."

"……Um."

"My hometown turned into frozen soil, and you were persecuted by humans outside, and the elves who are equivalent to your family were separated from you."

"—"

Aceh's words made Emilia close her eyes and bear it. It would be much easier if he was condemning herself.

Blame yourself for making mistakes in judgment, indiscriminately say that you need to correct your thinking, and scold yourself for being a beast that doesn't want to repay you.

If only he would—but she was pretty sure Aceh wouldn't.

There wasn't even anger in Aceh's voice.

"Although you can be happy here... but you, who expect such a world, are very pitiful..."

Aceh is just praying, hoping that Emilia can live in peace and happiness.

The world exists only to bless Emilia, and what he once said has not changed.

"I'm sorry, Aceh."

"There are so many people who can hurt you, why do you expect that future?"

"I don't expect to be hurt. I'm going to find a future where we can live together peacefully without hurting each other. There's no need to run, hide or stay away, but a future where we can spend together hand in hand."

"But are you hurt? What about your pain? What's lost won't come back, so it doesn't matter?"

"—"

I don't want to hate others but still can't help thinking, Emilia has had such an experience.I also wanted to give up the bitterness and pain countless times.

Aceh's words were sincere and gentle, and they deeply dug into Emilia's weak heart wound.

"...I want to be cool."

"Emelia?"

The voice was confused, and Emilia's answer made Aceh think he had heard wrong and asked back.

So Emilia raised her head, looked at her companion beside her, who was equivalent to her older brother, and told him.

"I want to be like the longing-for mother Fortuna, and I want to be like the gentle and strong Joss.

To be like Aunt Tansay who never did anything nasty to me.

I want to be like you, Aceh, who smiled at me until the end to keep me from being scared. "

"Emelia..."

In the forest of my hometown, outside the forest of my hometown, in the world I spent together, I will walk hand in hand with those people.

For those who want to be with me even though they are weak and humiliated and fail all the time.

"For those people, I want to be cool, and like a lot of people who tell me it's okay, I want to reach out to people."

The girl who has been helping her, begged herself for help, and the boy who has been running around for her, put all her trust in herself.

So——Emilia will live in the outside world.

"I'm fine, I'm not afraid of the outside world and the future."

"..."

"Thank you for worrying about me, I'm fine, Brother Aceh."

Aceh, who was called out like this, opened his eyes wide, while Emilia smiled at him who was surprised.

Although I always thought that he was no different from my elder brother, but because of my confrontation and shyness, I never called him that.

Now I can speak uprightly with a cheerful mood, and I don't feel ashamed at all.

In the forest of his hometown, there are mother, father, brother, and Emilia's family.

"—"

Emilia's smile made Aceh want to say something, but the emotions overflowing in his chest were complicated and bizarre, and they dissipated without being able to form an exact shape. Why?

"Because Emilia is very stubborn. Once she speaks out, she won't listen to others. That's why we and Fortuna-sama will be messed around."

"Woo...no, no~ I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, after all—"

Speaking of this, Aceh stopped and smiled. It was not a troubled expression, but a genuine smile.

"As a brother, you always have to follow your sister's waywardness."

Seeing him say that with a smile, Emilia felt deep love.

So far how many people have protected me and how much peace I have been given.

"Thank you, brother."

The two looked at each other and smiled with emotion.

Then Emilia turned her back to Aceh and stood on the cliff again, directly below was the lake, and in the distance were Fortina and Joss.

輕{文%交～流/-：$%⑦<*5/⑥<1/-3}3>～7&>②=六突然，两人都注意到爱蜜莉雅而朝这边挥手，爱蜜莉雅也跟着挥手。

Imprint the happy appearance of the two on the eyes, heart, soul and memories, and then leave.

"Thank you for letting me see the world, Echidna."

Turning to Aceh standing behind him—no, he is not Aceh, Emilia told the witch.

Including Aceh, who is too familiar with the outside world, this whole world is a illusory space that does not exist.

Emilia, who remembered this, knew that this was not reality, but a "trial".

Whether it's mother, father, brother or companion, it's just a manufactured fantasy.

Even so, my heart is full of gratitude.

"Maybe this is an impossible world, but it is undoubtedly the world I wanted to see in the past.

I never thought that I would be able to see my mother and Jus again... I could see my parents smiling side by side, so thank you. "

It's scary to admit that this is a fleeting dream that won't come true.

However, even in a world that does not exist, I still witness the happiness that should exist.

After touching the blessings and love there, she was so happy and sad that she almost trembled.

It's so good to see this scene, I can think so from the bottom of my heart.

"you……"

Hearing Emilia's thanks, Ace——no, it was a woman's voice, it was the voice of the witch herself.

The incident of being hated by her in the first "Trial" is still fresh in my memory.

Let alone face in this world, I have never even heard her voice, so I was about to give up.

But in the end, the witch still appeared in this temporary world, and her voice was trembling.

"Echidna...?"

Emilia turned around and faced the witch head-on, and regretted it at the same time, because when she turned around, she saw Echidna's undisguised expression.

She kept staring at Emilia with a teary expression.

"You're hateful, you're just a hateful person."

"—"

The words spun out of her forced voice were confusing, so Emilia said nothing.

Echidna's figure began to blur like this, like ripples on the surface of the water, distorted, and her figure left the illusory world as if about to melt.

After that, there was nothing left, the original Aceh was gone, and the wind and time began to flow.

@2*&6 "Echidna..."

Regretting that she couldn't say anything, Emilia grabbed her chest, then adjusted her breathing, faced the cliff again, and looked at the water below.

The clear lake surface in the distance reflected him faintly, and his heartbeat became violent and fast.

At the same time, I intuited that this was the way to end the second "trial".

Chapter 750 Six

What is different but the same between this world and my original world?The answer is Emilia, and only Emilia, who is equally different in both worlds.

In order for Emilia herself to find, acknowledge, and accept this, she must know herself.

It has been more than 100 years since her hometown turned into frozen ground, and she fell into a deep sleep. Emilia has never seen her grown-up appearance.

The reason is very simple, it's just that I'm afraid, too scared to look at it.

Lost memory, and when he woke up, his physical body had already grown up, causing a gap between his body and mind.

An immature mind is frightened by a body that cannot function flexibly, and this fear is heightened by the attitudes of the humans who live near their homeland.

The characteristics of the body were compared to the "witch of jealousy", and this period of time was unhappy.

Human beings persecuted Emilia because of anxiety, so Emilia became more and more afraid of her own appearance.

She deliberately rejected the mirror, and even developed the habit of not staring at the water.

In the contract with Parker, there is a contract that he will take care of Emilia's daily appearance.

Although he usually likes to make fun of others and use this attitude to cover up, it is actually to protect Emilia's heart from old wounds.

"How long have I been protected..."

He doesn't care about other people's moods, and loses his temper alone.

So, this period of time when I didn't realize that I was loved by others will come to an end.

"—!"
